Tring To OC My Q6600 (Very Frustrated)
For the life of me i cant get my OCing to work with my motherboard.

I cant use the gigabyte Bios i just dont understand it, this is what i did to get my PC to OC to 3GHZ (but hung on boot), i just need help step by step on how to really use the BIOs setting with the gigabyte MOBO.

This is what i set up in the bios but still it didnt work.
CPU V 1.38750
FSB V 1.4 (auto)
NB V 1.4
SB V 1.5 (auto)

On a side note i OCed my memory to 3-4-4-10 800MHZ@2.25V (1GBx2) which worked before i OCed the CPU

I have a Q6600 B3
Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6 Rev 2 MOBO
2GB DDR2 Geil Esoteria
8800GTX 768MB
850W Thermaltake Toughpower

If there is anything else that you need in order to help me, please let me know, thanks.

Do you have the latest BIOS? I know that B3 wasn't that great of a clocker and the 680i chipset had horrible OC results until new BIOS.

Are you running your ram linked or unlinked? Even if you are running unlinked you might want to think about loosing up those timings as when you set the FSB even though you have your ram set to 800MHz it will be set to a divider that may increase the MHz just enough to throw everything out of whack. Best thing to always do is find out where you what your CPU can do w/o interference from other variables such as your ram holding you back b/c of your timings.

As for the B3 stepping You should really consider starting out with at least 1.4v before you start scaling. You will also want to disable any power saving features in your BIOS that can also hinder your OC.

What cooling are you using?
